On October 9, TIME's
Joe Klein published a column lumping
Breitbart News reports in with "conspiracy theories" surrounding
federal agency ammunition purchases and suggesting those reports are causal in
confusing voters as the 2014 mid-term elections approach.

To push this template, Klein had to miss an April 8, 2013, Breitbart News
column showing that government ammunition purchases were a component
in the creation of a "politically-induced buying panic" that left
store shelves barren of ammo. In turn, the scarcity of
ammunition--combined with the frenzied demand for it--drove prices through the
roof.

When the April 8, 2013 column ran, the U.S. Senate was nine
days away from a vote on Senator Joe Manchin's (D-WV) gun control bill. The
attack on Sandy
Hook Elementaryhad taken place
just four months earlier, and Senator Dianne Feinstein(D-CA)
was still pushing for an "assault weapons ban" that would eliminate
approximately 150 different guns--among which were shotguns and numerous other
weapons that had nothing to do with Sandy Hook.

The American people felt angst as the Democrats targeted
Second Amendment rights.

This angst, combined with news of massive government
ammunition purchases, led to what Hornady ammunition described as a "politically-induced buying
panic." Ammo could not be found--gun owners faced a perfect storm.

This run on ammo forced producers like Hornady, Black Hills,
and Remington, among others, to run at "full capacity"--which meant
keeping production lines running 24/7 in some instances.

Hornady tried to calm the panic by telling consumers that
the government purchases weren't directly causing the ammunition shortage, but
their words fell on deaf ears as consumers saw news of government purchases for
huge quantities of ammunition or read about the DHS's 156 million round stockpile.

It didn't matter why these huge purchases were happening or
why DHS had 156 million rounds. What mattered is that it was happening at a
time when Democrats were also trying their best to take guns out of Americans'
hands; a time when gun owners watched the delivery truck fill a Wal-Martshelf with ammunition at 7 a.m. on a given
Tuesday and then saw that shelf emptied by 7:30 a.m that same morning.

These points aren't part of "conspiracy theories"
Mr. Klein, they are part of reality.

"Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men."- St. Augustine

"A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous, and then dismissed as trivial, until finally it becomes what everybody knows." -

William James

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."-- Edward Abbey

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."John Stuart Mill

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~~~George Washington

"I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University." William F. Buckley, Jr.

"Conservatives are enemies of the government. Liberals are enemies of the nation because they are not enemies of the government."Aristotle the Hun

“A nation that substitutes emotion and empathy for rational thought will eventually digress into the Dark Ages,”Congressman Steve King (R-IA),

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C. S. Lewis

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." ANON
